From our #NightSing with @HearMyVoiceBsly in #Barnsley centre last week. Urban spaces have the most amazing, often overlooked, acoustics. This one felt like singing in a Cathedral! Very special experience. Thx to Chris for the video #PowerOfSong #ReimaginingSpace #BarnsleyIsBrill

[The Fates @fates_uk]

Who fancies a sing this week? You're in luck! @boggartsue is running the @FagansPub session tomorrow, and then our relocated #WharncliffeSide session @HillsboroHotel1 on Thursday, which is also #Halloween, so bring your spookiest songs and tunes! #SheffieldFolk #Sheffieldissuper

[She Shanties @SheShanties]

If you've missed Sue and Teg's recent song walks, fear not! They're on at the BirdTable stage in Endcliffe Park today with songs and stories of Victorian Sheffield at 3pm and it's free! What's not to love? See you there! #FolkForest #SheffieldIsSuper (thx @shedigs for the photo)

[The Fates @fates_uk]

Teg & Sue are running another fantastic #history #story and #song walk this Wednesday as part of the @WalkleyFestival 7pm start @Walkleycottage The walk is approx 2 hours, and involves hills (and ducks). Please let us know if you're planning to come so we have an idea of numbers!

[Our Favourite Places @faveplaces]

Anyone else missing those #PhlegmGiants? Throwback to March/April, when they made an old Sheffield factory that bit more magical. Head to the Mausoleum of Giants site now for a 360° tour & behind-the-scenes film about their creation > https://t.co/YuYaCmcajc

Some more photos of mine and @boggartsue's #Sheffield #SongWalk from Saturday. Thanks to Ed Wynn for the pics. It was a privilege to be able to share so many inspiring songs and stories. We really enjoyed it! #ShefSeshFest #SheffieldCrofts #SongsOfSheffield #ForgottenSpaces

[The Fates @fates_uk]

@janetsinger @boggartsue Thank you. Sue crafted it, based on a poem James Montgomery wrote after the new Cholera Burial ground was created at Norfolk Park in 1832. It's lovely to sing.

[The Fates @fates_uk]

Sue and Teg singing 'Humanity Asks' (about the #Sheffield #Cholera Monument) from their #SheffieldSongWalk at the #ShefSeshFest concert yesterday. Words by James Montgomery (The Cholera Mount 1832) edited & set to music by Sue. Film by Ed Wynn https://t.co/86Fc7gwt8H @boggartsue

[The Fates @fates_uk]

@Auntycraft2 @boggartsue Yes, we're planning a #HarveyTeasdale song walk in July for @WalkleyFestival More details to follow. We can't wait!

[The Fates @fates_uk]

@OssettObserver @boggartsue Thanks (:

[Tegwen Roberts 💙 @industrialteg]

Really enjoyed our #SongWalk yesterday exploring some of the hidden stories, songs and spaces of the #Sheffield Crofts. Thanks to everyone who came along (and to Eilish for the photos) #InTheFootstepsOfJosephMather #shefseshfest

[Tegwen Roberts 💙 @industrialteg]

Dave and I are running an accompanied songs session without guitars for the #SheffSeshFest this Sun. It's a bit of fun and chance to dust off your other instruments and treat them to a song. More unusual the better (musical saw and octo-fiddle may feature) 6-8pm @HillsboroHotel1

Music needs to be part of every child’s life.

But music education is in a perilous state & children from low-income backgrounds are being left behind.

Lots of fun this weekend planning for #ShefSeshFest with @boggartsue including our night sing around Broad Lane next Saturday, exploring some of the area's amazing stories and unexpected acoustic spaces. Limited spaces - sign up at the Festival Office on Friday. #Sheffield #Folk

[The Fates @fates_uk]

Our monthly session is still on hold until we know what's happening with The Arms, but there's a new open mic night at St. Anne's Deepcar (S36) on the 3rd Tuesday of the month if anybody fancies a song. Contact the @VenueFolkClub for more details @SheffieldFolk #Sheffieldissuper

[The Fates @fates_uk]

@Auntycraft2 @SheffieldFolk @Zoopla It is. We're hoping that somebody will buy it as a going concern. It would be a real shame to lose it as a pub. We'll just have to see what happens though.

[The Fates @fates_uk]

Sad to say that there's no #WharncliffeArms session tonight as the pub is (hopefully temporarily) closed. Depending on what happens in the next month we may be looking for a new venue. Keep an eye on here, or our facebook, for updates. @SheffieldFolk #Sheffield #Sessions #Folk
